the real one – that’s how grandma made it

Peel the onions, slice them thickly, and bring them to a boil in the broth with the caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Let them boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until soft. Strain through a sieve or puree in a blender. Heat half of the butter and fry the flour in it until light brown, stirring constantly. Stir in the onion soup and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk the egg yolks with the cream and stir into the soup. Do not allow the soup to boil again. Cut the brown bread into cubes and fry in the remaining butter until crispy all over. Add to the soup along with the finely chopped chives. Serve immediately. Love-hungry women from Borna claim to have invented this soup—its effects are said to be remarkable!
